A fresh exploration of the category Jewish Christianity, from its
invention in the Enlightenment to contemporary debates For hundreds
of years, historians have been asking fundamental questions about
the separation of Christianity from Judaism in antiquity. Matt
Jackson-McCabe argues provocatively that the concept "Jewish
Christianity," which has been central to scholarly reconstructions,
represents an enduring legacy of Christian apologetics.
Freethinkers of the English Enlightenment created this category as
a means of isolating a distinctly Christian religion from what
otherwise appeared to be the Jewish culture of Jesus and the
apostles. Tracing the development of this patently modern concept
of a Jewish Christianity from its origins to early
twenty-first-century scholarship, Jackson-McCabe shows how a
category that began as a way to reimagine the apologetic notion of
an authoritative "original Christianity" continues to cause
problems in the contemporary study of Jewish and Christian
antiquity. He draws on promising new approaches to Christianity and
Judaism as socially constructed terms of identity to argue that
historians would do better to leave the concept of Jewish
Christianity behind.
